There was not a hitch in the entire four acts and every per. son on the stage carried out their parts well. Contrary to local belief, there was not a slip of the tongue, | not a line twisted out of shape, not faux pas. Bverything went along if the players had been handling their characters for ages Alfred Cross and Miss Julie in the lead roles could not be im- proved upon.

The big, generous, good-hearted Robert Stafford fares well at his hands. And in his big ccenes, notably the portraval of the | drunken millionaire, he measures up | to high standard. Following him | all through this, Miss Herne also makes a notable impression. She rises from the depths of poverty to the heights of riches with an ease {hat well becoming, and then | plunges back into the moderate life | of a shop girl only to be reconciled and taken back by the millionaire husband whom she left because she alized she was ‘“Bought and Paid For” with so much gold.
